Andrés Manuel López Beltrán, secretary of Organization for Morena and son of former president Andrés Manuel López Obrador, has faced criticism and allegations following his vacation trip to Tokyo, Japan. He issued a statement clarifying that the trip was funded with his own resources after exhaustive work periods and accused political opponents of espionage and a campaign of political harassment. López Beltrán detailed that his hotel expenses were approximately 7,500 pesos per day. In response to the controversy, President Claudia Sheinbaum emphasized that political power must be exercised with humility and simplicity, declining to engage in debates about López Beltrán's trip and reiterating that public officials are accountable to the people. Separately, Sheinbaum appointed Claudia Pavlovich, former PRI governor of Sonora from 2015 to 2021 and current Consul in Barcelona, as Mexico's ambassador to Panama. This appointment requires ratification by the Mexican Congress and has drawn criticism from opposition parties, particularly due to Pavlovich's expulsion from PRI and associations with the ABC daycare case victims. Sheinbaum defended Pavlovich's appointment, stating there are no investigations against her and praising her work. The Permanent Commission of Congress approved the presidential appointments after a contentious debate, with Pavlovich's nomination facing opposition from PAN and PRI legislators, while the appointment of Francisco Javier Díaz de León was unanimously approved.
